For the third week in a row, chatty cartoon animals ruled the box office as the birds of Rio took the top spot with a blockbuster $40 million opening. Coming in a distant second place was the 90s nostalgia curio, Scream 4 , which netted a horrifying $19 million; you’ll recall that Scream 3 had a $34 million opening weekend and that was back when ticket prices were lower and this all used to be orange groves. And speaking of wayback when, Robert Redford’s The Conspirator opened in ninth place; sorry James McAvoy! I still love you, boo!. Your weekend receipts are here.
